Zed

Urgot
run dark harvest for the extra poke and save your ult to dodge his.
Zac
you can murk him level 2, he can be a problem when he gets tanky but you counter him so hard by then you should have void staff

Sejuani
Watch out for her ult and use your passive MS to your advantage
Zilean
A rarity in solo lane but still decent, he pokes hard, has a stun, and an MS boost. but if you play it right you can easily all in him.

Hiya aspiring Ekko mains. I'm Zaradine (Pronounced Zar-a-deen or Zara-dine, your pick (people ask a lot lol)), an Ekko main obviously. I'm relatively new to the league scene only starting to play mid summer of 2018 after my boyfriend finally convinced me to play it (I thought league was an MMO), and I'm only now getting into ranked and I still got a long way to go before My duo and I get anywhere good. I've been playing Ekko for a while now and He's my most reliable pick to date. Back when I started I used to build AD, then moved to Hybrid, then to AP, although I still run hybrid builds from time to time for fun.
Other notes
I'm Nearing 400k mastery points
My Duo is Mid and I'm jungling, he's bronze 1 mid and I'm bronze 3 Jungle (I'm bronze 2 Mid although)
If you saw the boyfriend comment in about me and didn't get the hint, I'm Female.(cant assume genders or you'll piss off the snowflakes)
My punctuation is horrid and I tend to make run on sentences so if I messed up anywhere now you know why.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Easy to understand
good combos
If you fall behind you can still make amazing outplays
his ult and passives are legit broken if used right
hard carry and Penta potential (I've gotten two on him)
Cons

is somewhat predictable
lot's of difficult matchups
is an assassin so he can snowball or crash and burn

Finishing the guide
I plan to do the Combos before anything else but they might take a while. I'll put my personal Jungle pathing in the jungling chapter and leave it like that till after I finish Early, Mid, and Late game. After that who knows, i might expand on things I might not. Only time will tell.
